This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mmc: meson-gx: remove useless lock to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mmc-meson-gx-remove-useless-lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9f9d0e3644e24e7aab6eee0aaa5c2e79ce59c29d Author: Jerome Brunet <jbrunet@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 6 16:18:26 2018 +0100 mmc: meson-gx: remove useless lock [ Upstream commit 83076d2268c72d123f3d1eaf186a9f56ec1b943a ] The spinlock is only used within the irq handler so it does not seem very useful.
